Hola. Muchas gracias por compartir algo tan íntimo. Te puedo decir que he leído varias veces el texto, porque además de sus cualidades como texto, me pasó que leyéndolo me di cuenta que estoy profundamente deprimido y regreso para confirmar algo que se siente como una realización ajena. Y es que tuve un pequeño rapto de alegría el otro día y creo que no me sentía así desde el 2020. Algo de lo que escribiste hizo clic. En fin, hay que seguir en batalla. Abrazo.
Have read this upon waking up and again now before bed; it overlays like reading dream rhythms. Did tou know, there is now an option for Substack interface to read the text back.
It's a wonderflu piece. So wonderful that I am printing it now so that I can sit again and read it the way things ought to be read: printed on paper! I will rummage through your other essays. I am glad I found you!
PS: I understand what you are going through. Not fully, because those nasty beasts all have their own nasty personality (Anna Karenina's opening sentence comes to mind -- if that's cliche enough for you)... 🙂✌️
Thank you. I hope you enjoy digging through the backlog! There’s a lot of variety in there. So glad you found me, and feel free to get in touch whenever.

No; I did not. How does it read back?
Update the app and the headphones symbol will appear, upper right corner.
The pauses between passages in the voice remind me of narration in some architecture documentaries.

I love this essay. It has a strong Joan Didion flavor to it -- and yet it's different in its own slicing way.
Thank you, Ahmed. Your comment means a lot. It was a tough write.
